Dr. Goldberg,
I was delighted to see you here. I have really benefited from the materials you have published on the web over the years.
I posted this question to PB a few days ago, but I'l love to hear your experience on it. Does Seroquel cause weight gain like other APs?
I know that all the older APs like thorazine caused severe weight gain, and some of the more popular newer ones like Risperdal and Zyprexa are even worse, causing "diabesity" (diabetes and obesity, each feeding the other and making the other worse).
So is Seroquel any different?
I've got tough insomnia, and I've seen quite a few here use Seroquel for that
